Double check that you have configured MySQL to enable TCP/IP networking. Note if you run through the configure wizard and do not enable TCP/IP networking, the generated config file will still allow the mysql client program to connect, since the wizard will write out a config that tells both the client and server pieces to use named pipes instead of TCP/IP. So being able to connect with the mysql client doesn't actually verify that you have enabled TCP/IP connections to the server.
